@Flug-8 removes his hand from the throttle, pulls the shuttle into low earth orbit, sound tracking the cosmos as he watches from his porthole. We know there’s no sound in space, but if there was, we think it’d sound something like this…

S2S Fall Jam 2025 - Session 07

Soft Rocks continue their prestigious anglo-Australian exchange program with the long-awaited Kinfolk number 9, another must-have barn burner from a couple of Melbourne's finest. Representing two of the hottest crews from south of the equator, Nick Murray of Animals Dancing / Otologic and Power Station's Kris Baha combine like Voltron for a fierce four tracker for free spirits. It's time to pull out your Ray Bans and roll up those sleeves, as "Bonzai Sunset" here premiered sees the boys paying homage to Jan Hammer and Ryuichi Sakamoto with a sunblushed Fairlight funk bomb beamed forward in time from a Baldelli cosmic tape. Boasting a rolling bass groove, synth marimba, zero gravity sequences and frazzled guitars, this jam's a one way ticket to the freakiest dancing. Already out!

PREMIERE : Nick Murray & Kris Baha - Bonzai Sunset

A2 - Giuseppe Leonardi - Kannibalentanz (5:07)

We're back with Various Lurkers (SROO2)

Nose Job 2019 - NJ#002 7" https://nosejob.bandcamp.com/album/ok-nda-sk-l-ensamma-stunder

The second NJ is from Malmö's @prinsemanuel [Fasaan, Fri Form], geezer and master of many trades. First up is the wonky, rugged flanger jam Okända Skäl (Reasons Unknown) then comes the spesh slow burner Ensamma Stunder (Lonely Moments). This doozy of a 7" is very much about his place of birth in Skåne. With the art inspired by a cave painting and a megalithic monument from the iron age close to his mum's house. Life goes in circles…

NJ#002 Prins Emanuel - Ensamma Stunder

Artist: Smagghe & Cross 
Title: 1819
Label: Offen Music 
Release date: 27.01.2020 
Format: 12“ LP

This second Lp on Offen is an ajar window overlooking the phantasmagoric world of Smagghe & Cross, a remembrance of days that never were. The music is sparse, the past is forever : ghosts of industries are conjured through the English countryside, fading memories play static with an idea of romance, the sun breaks through the iron clouds. A record free of uncouth nostalgia but laced with ethereal melancholia.

A1 Monody - OFFEN 012

Taken from Flug 8's new album 'Electric Field'
Out June 19th - https://ransom-note-records.lnk.to/Electric-Field

If the upbeat, driving ‘Space Techno’ acted as the lift-off, ‘Electric Field’ sees @Flug-8 remove his hand from the throttle, pull the shuttle into low earth orbit, soundtracking the cosmos as he watches from his porthole. We know there’s no sound in space, but if there was, we think it’d sound something like this.

Arc To Time

Closely trailing last year’s Space Techno EP, and his recent outing as Herrmman/Kristoffersen, Daniel Herrmann’s new album; Electric Field sees the return of Ransom Note’s favourite aviation enthusiast, Flug 8. If the upbeat, driving Space Techno acted as the lift-off, Electric Field sees Daniel remove his hand from the throttle, pull the shuttle into low earth orbit, sound tracking the cosmos as he watches from his porthole. We know there’s no sound in space, but if there was, we think it’d sound something like this.
Setting the tone for what’s to come, the album kicks off with Night Effect. Grainy drones and swirling soundscapes lay the basis for the track. Hard-panned, delayed melodies and restless low frequency percussion ricochet off of each other as they slowly intertwine and settle, making peace with their newfound trajectory. Next up is Arc to Time where morphing, guitar-like plucks cascade around the listener’s perspective, jostling for the limelight like some sort of intergalactic wind-chime, while lush pads and chords evolve to fill the background from the outside in. The epic Continuous Wave sounds like it was composed for the big screen. The meandering lead wouldn’t sound out of place on Hans Zimmer’s Interstellar soundtrack, all the while whirring leads sound like Herrmann might have actually sampled them from an astronaut’s respiratory system. Bubble Cell, characterised by generous servings of analog tape hiss, fizzes over the top of slow churning synth swells, placing you at the forefront of an otherworldly environment. Inhabiting some distant molten planet, he somehow finds tranquillity within the chaos. On the flip, Herrmanns’s Effective height pokes its head into unknown territories, as a ceaseless lead transmits repeatedly searching for a reply, only to be consumed by the vastness of space, becoming lost beneath sombre drones. Pulsing synth percussion lays a foundation for Polarizing as warped, hardly distinguishable vocodered vocals give way to overdriven, plucked synths sustained by lush, neverending reverbs. Driven by a jittering lead and soaring synth plucks, Side Band is the only track to feature anything remotely close to a conventional breakdown - as the track explodes into a crescendo, we hear distant, saturated, guitar-like licks far off. Closing out the project is Cosmic Noise, which as its name suggests is unsurprisingly the most experimental track on the album. Surges of noise and distortion serve up a stark reminder of our place in the universe as it chews you up and spits you out Sitting on the floor of his living room with a complete arsenal of vintage analog synths, Daniel builds each layer of his unique soundscapes, one continuous take at a time. With Alter Ego’s Jörn Elling Wuttke lending a helping hand on mixing duties, Electric Field might just be Flug 8’s most accomplished work yet.

LISTEN ON YOUTUBE

PREMIERE : Flug 8 - Night Effect

Bed of Roses head honcho Break Mode turns out two tracks of introspective, breaks inspired head spinners with choice remixes from Carly Barton and Sound Believer. Wash One is a slo-mo, heady, end-of-night jaw pleaser built on layers of swirling vocal samples from wwwhisperkid and an 808 kick. Stabs is an acid-dipped, mid-tempo dance movement dripping with melodrama and not-not reminiscent of Violator-era Depeche Mode. Fresh off their brilliant OST release on Musique Plastique, Carly Barton splits Stabs in two with a darker rolling baseline, trance-inducing use of stereo and one eye towards sunrise. Sound Believer turns in a 7 minute, 90's UK tinged remix of Wash One with a driving four-on-the-floor beat and an ethereal balearic breakdown.
